One of the Offensive Trusts.

Globe Democrat: The reported pur-
pose of the Cotton Oil Trust not to pay
It's approaching quarterly dividend is a
fattering promise of its speedy down
fall. Such gigantic concerns are
against public policy, and when aimed
at cOrnering the productions of the
earth should not be tolerated Its first
step after consolidating nearly all the
mills n the country under one manage
ment was to close about one-half o
them, thus putting down the price of
cotton seed and putting up the price of
it's manufactured products. The efforts
of the state of Louisiana to force the
trust out of business in that state failed,
but the big, inflated concern has at last
been brought to reason by an opposi-
ton company, which originated in
Philadelphia, and which during the last
twelve months has built quite num-
her of mills. 1t is thus demonstrated
that the era OF competition IS Lot yet
gone.
